I sat at a table surrounded by my good friends, and thought about how people break bread together all around
the world, in every culture. It’s a universal part of the human experience, one that so deeply signifies
friendship and hospitality. But in the age of the iPhone, with everything changing around us so quickly, I
wondered — could we make it any easier?

So I looked around, but couldn’t find a simple way to organize events where food is shared.
We have an app for everything these days, but folks were still using tangled email threads, or sheets of
paper taped to the office refrigerator.

We built this site to do only one thing, and do it well: make it easier for people to come together around food.
A host makes a menu, and guests pick what they’re bringing, or they suggest something new. Simple!
